View Full Version : Funny combinations of ancillaries
One of my governors got the Evil Mother-in-Law ancillary in one turn, then two turns later he got the Comedian. I wonder what most of his jokes were about? Hehehe...

Yes, I've had the urge to put all the retard/special/crazy people on a guy I decide is a failure and send him wandering around the steppe.

i actually did that. In my Romani campaign, one of my generals was dull/uncharasmatic/langorous...and spawned an evil stepmother (obviously, since the guy is a loser). I decided to put all my worst ancillaries on him...drolling idiot, etc
Then I sent him fighting through the seleucid empire without support, relying only on mercs...I expected him to die in the 3rd/4th battle. For some reason, he made it all the way to India...
I was impressed so I made him to governor of Kush - he's still alive and kicking at age 45 somethin

How do you move ancillaries from person to person? I've never been able to figure that out..

What Intranetusa said, but not all ancillaries can be moved. The first ones that family members receive when adopted or come of age are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head.

^ Technially they can be moved. The problem is that most of the characters already have those ancillaries, so you can't have 2 exact ancillaries for the same person

That happens also, but no, some cant be moved. Family advisor or something is a personal attachment, so cant be palmed off on someone else. I think it is certain types that cannot be moved.

Both generals have to be together not separate,then click and drag a ancillary to another general.
both genrals have to be to be in the same fort or settlement, then you can move all ancillarys around. You can't give two ancillries of the same type to one general. For example: he can only have physician or a doctor, not both. Afaik the first (advisor, powerfull advisor, family retainer) can't be changed, casue every genral have one of those types.

Right, thank you all for the replies and elaboration! Now to go try it, though I realise that I actually have few negative ancillaries - just one Evil Mother-in-Law on one of my more useless family members, who just happens to be Flaccid, a Hypochondriac, Venal, and some other trait that's something along the lines of being adverse to education, along with a host of others I can't recall at the moment. It's no wonder, I'd have become Evil too.

Pet Idiot
My Getae family were nutty enough already, morose bloodthirsty berserker maniacs the lot of them. Then the only one with any town skills adopted a pet idiot which is -3 to this and that.
